Do I have to go to the work christmas party? I just… do not want to go. I have too much on and no time for fake socialising. What’s the etiquette here--how do I politely get out of going without seeming like the grinch?

I'm trying to start my career I'm doing something I'm passionate about but I'm getting really disheartened because I don't think anyone wants me and I want to show everybody that I'm worth something I have lots of clearances and more I would like a job where I can help people and if you think I would be suitable I wouldn't mind talking to someone about this helping me get into position where I can help people

I need advice on how to build a good professional network and my current network isn't very helpful or active. How can I expand my network in other directions, so my connections are useful for referrals? Has anyone had a good experience with professional networking events and what were they?

I watched most of the video that mentioned a certificate, but I have not yet received it. Is this a bug, or is there another reason for the delay?

I'm two years into a full time primary teaching role and I have to say, I'm already already burnt out. Is there a career pathway I can take from having teaching experience that has better work life balance?

Weighing two Sydney graduate program offers. Option 1: Siemens Engineering Graduate Program → traditional engineering pathway in electrical/ mechatronics. Option 2: Australian Government Graduate Program Data Stream (Data Officer at the Australian Taxation Office) → eventually upskill into the private sector as a data scientist or a data engineer. Equal interest in both. Which leads to a better long-term private sector career in Sydney (pay, opportunities, growth, exit options, lifestyle)?

I’m an apprentice boilermaker and I’ve been experiencing workplace harassment from my boss. It’s to the point where I have trouble getting out of bed in the morning knowing I’m going to be picked on for nothing. If it was constructive criticism I’d take it on the chin but it “I’ll find something to team him for”. I got a written warning today for have a riggers glove and a welding glove on. I want to leave the industry now, what do you people suggest?
